Future booked cruises with All Included? Tips no longer included.
hcat replied to 39august's topic in Celebrity Cruises
if they don't include the grats we pd for in our fare, we just would not add any.. -
Specialty coffee no longer included with Classic package?
hcat replied to kristikae's topic in Celebrity Cruises
pretty sure we will get the coffees and teas..they can't take everything away all at once.. if not just order coffee and alc sep and combine them -
we have sailed Constellation 3 times.. all diff itins and stages of her life..starting with an early trip up to Canada..so memorable! We have been hoping to hear she will be refurbed so we can sail from TAMPA ..But not going to take a chance...we can book a top hotel nearby Tampa and enjoy the local area.. great museums, restaurants, nature, aquarium etc

How to make an IV feel like a regular balcony
hcat replied to Cruise till you drop's topic in Celebrity Cruises
very true.. how abt " 4 season " cruisers that go to Iceland etc might enjoy this cabin.. we have an IV booked next for a Carib cruise, followed by the SV.. After that..maybe just wait it out on our front or rear lanais in Fl?? -
not sure.. the only agenda here seems to be cut cut cut

How to make an IV feel like a regular balcony
hcat replied to Cruise till you drop's topic in Celebrity Cruises
many apts call a similar space a "winter garden balcony"..this one actually opens to a balc but many have just the window or no window -
X used to have small tables between the pool loungers for drinks and such, and enough space was left to negotiate safely. Most of the small tables were removed and loungers placed almost touching one's neighbor.... no room to get up safely, walk and now drinks must sit on the floor where they are easily spilled. X replaced all comfy balcony chairs and footrests a few yrs ago..Big uproar but nothing changed back, just more uncomfy crappy furniture appeared.and .tiny, if any balc tables .(no room for lunch al fresco) E class Suites were furnished with hideous rocklng chairs that were quickly rejected by suite guests. They were initially moved out to the entry part of EDEN, and now are seen lined up along the upper part of the walkway. and in EDEN, they have low to the ground furniyure and other ill designed furniture impossible to get out of...like.6o's college dorm style.. Maybe they will bring on those brownies All due to the creeping influence of Royal C..over a previously great small cruise line.

We understand what it is and that X was not candid.. They should have called it a "winter garden" or something other than balcony..(not sure where the "infinite" part came from?) We managed fine with it.. The biggest neg is that it feels narrow and smaller.. Did not measure but it seems like a real balc cabin would have about the same space inside PLUS the balc space outside..not sure?? -
On Equinox in a Sky Suite (after butler change)
hcat replied to DingoMom's topic in Celebrity Cruises
We were in a Sky Suite on BEYOND..out of Port Ev..The suite waiting area to board was packed..we found 2 seats at the bar and squeezed in with our luggage. There weren't any offered snacks..only drinks, water and sodas.. A bit of a free for all but happy to get on first. The disembark waiting area was also very crowded. Staff did its best fending off folks who tried to "crash"...all sorts of excuses! But again..happy to get off early.. Clearing immig was digital and fast.. We grabbed a porter and were easily out of there with our bags. Porter at Port Ev is essential...even if driving.. they expedite getting bags and getting you out! If you need a cab. they get you one fast! -
celeb trusts their guests..royal treated us like petty thieves!

I agree with your conclusions as to merit..not my area of expertise. . Your being "released" from your job turned out to work in your favor! Something similar happened to me and I never looked back!...Enjoy!

.I was thinking that many of the changes were not the result of any studies or thought out at all! Seems like someone looked at a list of items and said let's try to cut this and that, we can always reverse course... If it was well thought out there would have been a much better implementation program with proper notice of the roll out. Anyone who lost the Butler should be given token OBC ..maybe $200..and asked to complete a short survey of how things worked out at the end of the cruise..make them part of the "Change Team" Similarly..notify that due to supply issues or whatever excuse, the mini bar rules will need to be Strictly enforced..and give a $50 OBC for any inconvenience! Instead..they seem to have no insight into custoner relations or just do not care! Run by robots??

yrs ago..they had a popcorn machine and served it during movies in the small theatre off to the side of the main hallway..watched Girl With a Pearl Earring and had our popcorn too!

only the language used...pure fiction. -
cloth towels use up laundry resources.. .. rather have disposable recyclable Celebrity can still fix all of this.. stop all the BS, improve food quality and staffing. Give what was promised at time of booking. Let the new lady make her mark on Coco Cay.. The beautiful ships are wasted on a no frills product!

No Way...she came up through the Royal system. Beginning of the downward slide from Class to Crass!

looks neat and clean, includes parking , close to port and a few places for dinner nearby. Prices elsewhere were really high. This was just in our zone. We joined their " loyalty" club . hopefully an easy drive from the west coast..some of the roafs diwn there have become complicated!

but that creates a loud whistle noise for other rooms along the corridor..hard to block it out or for staff to trace it -
